Amazing work

Working with Tina and her team at Magnificent Brides was fabulous. Not only did Tina bring my bridal hair vision to life, she also had me come in for a haircut prior to the big day to ensure my hair was perfect for the style we were going for. Arte did an amazing job with my bridal makeup and both my hair and makeup held up the entire day. We had four of the MB team members at our Vrbo prior to the reception to get 19 girls ready and not only did they get everyone done in a timely manner, but all of the girls loved their hair and makeup, as well. I’ve been in many weddings where members of the bridal party are running off to the bathroom after their services to fix their hair and makeup because they didn’t like what the stylists did, so it was refreshing to see that all of my friends and family were so happy with the services they had done. Highly recommend!

Great experience with Magnificent Brides!

I had a wonderful experience with Tina and Lexi from Magnificent Brides for my wedding hair and makeup. Tina gave great suggestions when helping me decide on the perfect hairstyle, and she was very responsive, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Lexi was amazing with makeup, ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident with my look. Both Tina and Lexi made me feel truly beautiful on my wedding day. Additionally, Cathy and Lexi did an excellent job with the hair and makeup for my family and friends, and they did wonderfully at keeping us on schedule. The team’s professionalism and talent were evident, they made getting ready fun, and I am glad they were a part of my wedding day. I highly recommend Magnificent Brides to anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable beauty experience for their special day!

Great experience

I worked with Magnificent Brides for my April 2023 wedding. Tina was very professional and quick to respond. Arte did my trial (x2) and wedding day plus bridal party hair, along with Jackie for a total of 6 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and a flower girl who all needed to be ready by noon. We were all happy with our hair, which stayed all night. Very grateful I found Magnificent Brides!

Absolutely Fabulous!!

Choosing Magnificent Brides for my wedding hair and makeup was one of the best decisions I made during the wedding planning process. Not only did they make me look and feel amazing, but they were also incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They listened to my vision and executed it perfectly, and I couldn't have been happier with the results. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup and felt like a true bride.

10 stars! I am SO grateful to Tina for her talents on my wedding day. She did 8 women's hair all by herself, and ALL were incredibly happy. She is timely, responsive, organized, kind, creative and SO talented. I wish I lived nearby as I would love to have her do my hair regularly. My hair is NOT easy to work with -- in fact, the majority of stylists I see do a poor job. I have very little hair that has thinned over time and the texture is very frizzy. She worked with my hair texture incredibly. I had so many compliments on my hair (which is an unusual compliment for me). She stayed long after my hair was done to take photos and put in my veil for me after the first look. She is above and beyond incredible. Follow her instagram @magnificentbrides to admire her work <3 You will love Tina and her remarkable skill set. I can't thank her enough.

Tina made me feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. I've never been much of a hair and makeup girl, so I didn't think much of it when people said that hair and makeup make a difference on the wedding day. However, I was blown away by how great my hair looked on the big day. It was somehow perfectly "me" but also very special. It gave me an extra boost of confidence that I didn't even think I needed. Tina also styled hair for my mother and four bridesmaids. Even though they all had very different hair (length and texture), she nailed all of their visions. I'm so glad we worked with Tina, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a hair stylist for their wedding.

Tina & Jen recently did the hair & make-up for myself, my bridal party, & my mom and all I can say is WOW!

I had a total of 13 ladies get their hair done (including myself) and every single one of them was impressed & happy with the results. Tina was a pleasure to work with from start (consultation) to finish - she was very professional & easy to work with. I even changed my hair style last minute (as I can never really make up my mind about anything) and Tina was able to pull everything together to make me feel beautiful & confident on my big day - my hair lasted the entire night ... even after all the dancing & a bit of rain!!

When it comes to the make-up nothing fell short here! I wanted a natural look that popped in pictures and that is exactly what I got. All the ladies that had their make-up done by Jen were extremely pleased ... they all looked polished but not over done which is exactly what we were looking for. Jen was a dream to work with, professional & fun .... extra bonus - I was able to buy my lipstick which meant I could touch-up all night with no issues!

I would recommend Tina & Jen from Magnificent Brides to any and all brides looking for quality, professional hair & make-up service for their big day!! These ladies are the best!

I have nothing but FABULOUS things to say about Tina from Magnificent Brides! I knew from the moment I saw her gorgeous work that I had to have her for our wedding. I even booked her over a year and a half out!

Tina did the hair for myself and 10 other girls including my very picky mother. I was initially very nervous about having that many girls needing their hair done by our ceremony time and only having one person to do it, but Tina completely WOWED me how quickly she worked and how beautiful each girl’s hair turned out. Tina gave herself 30 minutes for each bridesmaid and an hour for myself and she even finished some girls with time to spare. My mom was in complete awe with how fabulous and quick she was!

My hair turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Honestly, it was everything I imagined my hair to be on my wedding and more. We happened to get married on one of the most humid and hot days of the year and my hair looked completely gorgeous the whole night! Tina was also very gracious and polite and waited nearly 40 minutes as my bridesmaids buttoned me into my dress to put on my veil.

Tina is an extremely professional and talented stylist and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I can't say enough good things about Tina and Magnificent Brides! I first met Tina when she did my hair for a wedding that I was a bridesmaid in. When I got engaged a few months later, I knew I had to have her for my wedding day! She is so talented, friendly, easy to work with, and efficient! Despite having 7 bridesmaids, 1 grandmother, 2 mothers and 1 bride's hair to do the day of the wedding, she stayed on schedule and gave everyone an amazing hairstyle. I was so lucky to have her the day of my wedding!

There is something to say about the art of an up-do and Tina can work her magic to make anyone look beautiful! She is the most creative hair stylist I have seen. Her service is out of this world! There aren't many who will go out to the site the day of the wedding but she will! I highly recommend Tina for the day of the wedding she is just amazing!

tina and jennifer are amazing artists! They possess alot of experience and passion in their work. You'll certainly meet many hair & makeup professionals, but tina and jennifer are a dynamic duo! They have a beautiful eye for making your makeup and hair look like something from a fashion magazine, or created by a hair and makeup artist to the stars! They are great at listening to their client's vision for their look. Often times tina and jennifer will already know what looks will compliment the facial features, hair texture, colors, and style of their bridal clients. If you want a "worry-free" and beautiful look at your wedding, I would highly recommend tina and jennifer for your hair and makeup! They will exceed your expectations!
